Story

[edit]

Uta Sakura is a second-year middle school student who lives in Hanamichi Town and loves to sing. One day, while walking with her dog Kyu-chan, she discovers a peach-like object floating down the river and meets Purirun, who has come to Earth in search of the Idol Pretty Cure. Purirun's homeland, KirakiLand, was attacked by the Chokkiri Gang and their leader, Darkine, who aimed to steal people's sparkles and plunge them into darkness. Uta's resolve to make it shine, even in the darkness, grants her the Pretty Cure Ribbon and Idol Heart Brooch, allowing her to transform into Cure Idol. Along with her classmates, Nana Aokaze and Kokoro Shigure, who become Cure Wink and Cure Kyun-Kyun, respectively, they battle against the Chokkiri Gang.[2]
